Can tor be blocked? I saw some old posts about this with no definite answer. But nothing more recent.

Hi Firewall_Jackson,

The Application Control Module should be able to find and categoriese the TOR traffic.

Here is a list of what it will see.

Thanks, but I neglected to mention that I do have the Application Control running with the TOR item blocked and flagged (not tar pitted). But TOR is able see a website that is on the webfilter's blacklist.

Tarpit is key when blocking some mean protocols.

Tarpit will allow the session but destroy any information in it.
So the TOR client will not try other methods.

And check the Application Control event log so that you verify that it is even seeing the traffic and categorizing it correctly

Great, thx!

There is also a default rule under rules tab to tarpit all traffic that is classified as proxy. I think that would be the easiest thing to try first.
